It’s been a new year for almost a week now. How are those resolutions going? If you’re a prepper, you might have made several resolutions: store more food, save up and buy that sun oven, practice survival skills every weekend… I could go on and on. And that’s where it can get overwhelming. How do you decide what to focus on next?

Most preppers have a long checklist of things they want to buy or things they want to accomplish. But sometimes when the weekend rolls around they look at their lists, can’t decide what to do, and end up doing nothing. I’ve been there. What we all need is a method for prioritizing our goals.

Angela at Food Storage And Survival recently published a list of 4 questions to ask when prioritizing emergency preparedness goals. I’m already finding these questions very useful. The first question pushed a few of my goals to the back burner, and the fourth question is sure to save me some money. If you have a long list of preparedness goals, you need to see this.
